Reviews

Jess Mccabe

It seems like [US writers] didn't have enough confidence in the character and they needed to add layers of backstory and angst to spell out that Linden is a great detective but just cannot cope. Perhaps it's also a lack of confidence in the audience.

The series is excellent, absorbing and addictive. When each episode ends, you long for the next - a hallmark of great dramas.

Now that the Killing has been true to its word about solving its mystery in a single season, if it does come back again, I hope that it keeps in mind that its appeal lies far more in its characters than in its twists.
